F**k GRRM. Guy is trying to act like a Tolkien when he hasn't even completed anything yet. He should just finish his work already, rather than trying to branch out into a million different other things trying to stay relevant.
He'll never finish the books. The execution of the show was absolute garbage, but the ending in itself makes sense. GRRM is now in a corner of either arrive at (essentially) the same ending that was panned because he never gave the showrunners the guidance they needed or audible into some fan-fictionesque ending to attempt to appease the masses.
To try and get back to Westworld, I feel like nowadays these showrunners and executives are trying way too hard to make franchises and expanded universes when they could just make an extremely solid shorter-lived show. There are already signs of the wheels starting to loosen by the end of Season 3. Hopefully season 4 can right the ship a little and they can finish strong, rather than trying to stretch it out to 8-10 seasons.
